Talk to the king of ascantha.
To get the moonshadow harp you must follow these steps (contains spoilers).
1: go to ascantha castle during the day (you can always rest till morning if you need to).
2: speak to the king and he will takeyou down to the vault beneath the castle ().
3: follow the trail of the thiefs through the first of 2 cave systems.
4: go across land to the second cave system to the north (mole hole).
5: follow the thief trail to the end of the second cave systen and fight the boss of this cave (the cave has 3 levels and he's a big funky mole so you can't miss him) just go and talk to the boss and reply no to start the battle.
6: defeat the boss and after a short cutscene you will get the moonshadow harp (the boss has around 1400 hp give or take so be well prepared).
7: use evac if you have it then return to ascantha castle to tell the king you got it (you may be skip this part).
8: return to trodain castle and the second shadow gate to continue your journey.
